Whereas all the non-Western developed countries - Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea, Singapore, etc. -- don't let them in in the first place.
I didn't realize France is so repressive and impoverished.

It was going to happen sooner or later.

The vast majority of those coming ashore or being picked up at sea are "economic refugees" seeking a better chance in life and the chance to make some money. They know the UK is one of the best places they can achieve this. The problem is that many of the UK population does not want these newcomers so sending them to Rwanda is an effort to stop them coming. The so-called refugees know all the tricks, throw away your passport, say you are from a country you are not, claim you are 16 or 17 years old. If from a Muslim country tell the authorities you have converted to Christianity or are Gay. Anyone really in danger would welcome the safety offered in Rwanda by the UK government. But its not about safety.

Brazil has a giant territory and exporting people, refugees willing to work there with adequate international financing with proper planning would be a blessing for all.

Makoto Shimizu...
Does Brazil provide them with accommodation? Free schooling for their children? benefits?
That's why they head to the UK.
